The App Store has an update for 10.10.3

There is a supplemental update for OS X 10.10.3 with new video drivers.

The black video Panasonic bug is getting worse with the update. FCP X hangs when playing clips.
What comes next?
Console says:
16.04.15 22:21:19,000 kernel[0]: process Final Cut Pro[552] thread 15513 caught burning CPU!

Does this mean I have to watch for white clouds out of the mac?
Maybe time for Time Machine.

Why my app store shows the update for other account which i don't know

Why my app store shows a Itsy updates for [email protected]? I've no idea about what it is.

That is her standard answer to this known problem. And it is not a bug!
You have a pirated app that is from the MAS and the app has been cracked with the MAS receipt from an app acquired with this person's MAS account. Get rid of your pirated apps to get rid of the issue.
Whichever was that last app that you downloaded for free from somewhere, rather than paying for it in the MAS, is likely the culprit.

iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone. You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone. You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account. iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac. When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account. You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

App Store shows an update for App I didn't purchase

App Store shows an update for App I didn't purchase.
Below is a snapshot of how it looks like.
Why is there an update when I don't even have the app ?
If I click the Update button , the message I got is this :
and I have no idea what's going on.

Thanks DahVeed, it all make sense now. No-wonder someone elses e-mail ID was showing up.
I never advocate the usage of pirated apps, as being a software developer myself I understand the difficulty of creating apps and when people use it without purchasing them.
I can confirm that the app is now deleted from the external hard disk (which belongs to my friend).

App Store keeps showing update for program that has been uninstalled

The App Store keeps showing an update available for Virus Barrier Express even after I have removed it completely from my system. Going into the Purchased list shows it is not installed. When the application was installed it always said there was an update. No matter how many times you clicked Update and allowed it to download and install the update, the App Store still showed the update needed to be installed.
On another machine it constantly shows an update for one of the installed applications but clicking the update button doesn't clear the update once it's been downloaded and installed.
Deleting the App Store preference hasn't resolved the issue. Enabling the debug menu and using the Reset Applications option has not either.

I found out what was causing my problem (can't re-install an app that I deleted and which was purchased from the App Store). The app I was trying to re-install under Lion was Apple's Compressor v4 which is only available through the Mac App Store. However, even though I was booting from my one-and-only copy of Lion the Mac App Store was apparently getting confused by an old copy of Compressor v3.5 that was installed on another boot disk that I maintain for Snow Leopard. I'm running on a quad-disk Mac Pro so all four disks mount whenever I start the system. In any case, all I had to do was unmount the other disks and the Mac App Store then allowed me to install Compressor v4 on my Lion system.
The reason I was able to pinpoint this solution is that I wanted to run another Mac App Store app (Find Any File) and even though the Store said it was "Installed" I couldn't find the application in either the Lion Application folder or within LaunchPad. I then realized that the App Store was referencing the copy of that app that was stored on my Snow Leopard disk and unmounting that disk finally allowed me to install both Compressor v4 and Find Any File on my actual/current boot disk (i.e. Lion).
Now, the odd thing about this problem is that Compressor v4 wasn't installed on any of my disks, it was the older version of Compressor (v3.5.3) that apparently was preventing me from installing the new version 4 on my Lion system. In fact, Compressor v3.5.3 crashes immediately under Lion so that version of the app isn't even usable when I'm running Lion.
So, if you're having a problem with installation or app removal or updates from the Mac App Store try dismounting any other disks which you might have attached to your Mac and see it that solves your problem. If it does solve the problem then you can almost be assured that the cause of your difficulty is some file that is present on one of your other disks (i.e. app may not even be on your current boot disk).

My App Store has stopped updating.

About a week ago I noticed that App Store will show a numerical value for apps to be updated. However the Store screen shows no updates and will not update. I have been able to find one or two marked update under Purchased Apps but not all and certainly not conveniently.
Does anyone know why this is suddenly happening? I have done a hard reboot and closed all open apps to no avail.

The update server is down; try this temporary workaround
App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
Note: Look out for apps that have the word "Update"

App store got a updates for me, but its not my Apple ID

I bought a second hand MacBook Pro from a colleague of mine at work, he erased all the things he wanted to save to himself and I deleted is user name and created my own user name and became the new Admin. ive updated to the new operating system "Yosemite" and everything works great so far. I received an alert on the app store that an updaet is waiting for me, but for some reason the app store wants the password Username previous admin Even I deleted it from the computer users, another strange thing is that I connected with my user name and my password to the app store so how can it be that he asks for username and password that does not exist on this computer ?

Preparing a 2nd Hand Mac for use -
You need to erase the HDD, reinstall the version of OS X that shipped from the factory on the Mac and then set it up as new with your own Apple ID.

Why is my mac app store not finding updates for iTunes 11.1?

I have been desperatly waiting all day at work to get home and install iOS7. I get home and plug in my phone to have iTunes tell me this:
"A new iPhone software version (7.0) is available, but requires iTunes 11.0.5. Would you like to download iTunes 11.0.5 now?"
I click download and the App Store then informs me that no updates are available.
Then I go back to iTunes to try again. This time I go to the iTunes menu, then Check for Updates. This message appears:
"This version of iTunes (11.0.5) is the current version."
So, why am I no getting an option to update to 11.1? And, why is iOS7 not downloading eventhough iTunes recognizes I have 11.0.5, which is what my error message tells me I need.
I am at a complete loss and am reaching entirely new levels of frustration.
If anyone was able to conquer this issue, please help me.
Thanks.

Download itunes 11.1 from
www.apple.com/itunes/download/
from Safari. Not Google Chrome! It only offers 11.0.5 in google chrome. I had the same problem and fixed it by downloading the newest itunes (11.1) from Safari.

App Store icon show update for apps that i did not install.

Hi, i seriously jammed with my head, my appstore show that there an update for this angry bird icon, but when i checked, i did not install any angry bird games on my macbook. how do i resolve this?

It's quite likely that your son is making in-app purchases. Many free or inexpensive games offer additional features - levels, coins, tools, weapons, etc. - that are purchased from within the game, and these purchases can be quite expensive or can add up very quickly. Check your Purchase History for your iTunes Store account; such purchases would be reflected there. If they are, then ask your son about this. There may be no fraud at all.
To prevent such unauthorized purchases from within an app, set the Restrictions on your son's iPhone to turn off In-App purchasing and, I'd recommend, to the "immediate" setting for requiring a password for purchasing.
Regards.

Mac app store always shows updates for not installed apps

Hi,
I've got fresh install of 10.7.1 (replaced hdd, installed via Restore OS usb flash drive). Everything works properly, except of Mac App Store.
For some reason it shows me as updates all apps I ever purchased. Installed and updated to latest version, as well as not installed yet.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks!

Someone else was sent redemption codes to resolve the problem.

I have a new iMac OSX Mavericks. My user name for Apple apps is wrong but I can't change it. I don't know where it came from.

How can I change the Apple ID that seems to have come with my new computer??? It will not go away even though I have gone to accounts and checked out what is there. It is right in the Accounts but what can I do to change it on my computer? I can not download any upgrades. Thank you.

Going to my account did not work because it's the right information. When I have trouble is when I'm trying to sign in for upgrades. There are some letters in the "sign in" box that will not go away...and I can not put the right sign in in that space. Which means that I can not upgrade Pages or any of the rest of the apps that came (free) with this new computer.

My new iMac's app store has a update for a app that I don't own!!
